#3511 Sparks - Plagiarism

3/5

This is bullshit! you can hear the Maels shout, finally getting a critical crumb or two, after decades of intermittent brilliance

So sure make those great old songs again, with strings, electronics, and faith no more (?) The album kicks off with, what else, a remake of Pulling Rabbits Out of A Hat, their ode to empty excellence, now swarthed in every flourish a symphony can afford. This Town Ain't Big enough, in particular, benefits from all that excess, pumping an overblown song past bursting into delightfully ridiculous.

But nobody needs hard-driving dance remixes or tacky guitar-driven versions of the rest, sounding cheap, like copyright-dodging karaoke versions. Unnecessary, if strangely understandable
